Clear Hard Drive Space

A sequencing run can require up to 600 GB of local hard drive space. A warning notification displays when space is low. Use the following steps to clear space by deleting completed runs and installed reference genomes from a temporary run folder.

1.

From the control software menu, select Disk Management.

The Disk Management screen appears with a list of runs and reference genomes saved to the local hard drive.

2.

For the run you want to delete, select Delete Run.

Deleting a run deletes the local run folder. The output folder, which is a copy of the run folder, is retained.

3.

In the dialog box, select Yes, Delete Run to confirm deleting the run.

4.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each run that you want to delete.

5.

For the genome you want to delete, select Delete Genome.

6.

In the dialog box, select Yes, Delete Genome.

7.

Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each genome that you want to delete.

8.

When you are finished, close Disk Management to return to the Home screen.
